"That was when I very first met you," Pfeiffer told her co-star. "Did I ever tell you that? It was my very first interview ever ... never thinking I would get the part, which of course I didn't. I had always dreamed of working with him, and so I was just very excited."

De Niro, who plays Pfeiffer's husband in The Family, seemed surprised by her revelation. "Really?" he said. "Oh, wow."
